What Is This Feeling part 9

I wake up feeling groggier then ever, my mind is clouded and no thoughts come to me whatsoever.

I get up slowly and walk over to my full length mirror and look into it. My body was covered in bruises, I don't think I've ever looked this beat up, no wonder I feel like crap. I focused my Chakra in my palms and they begin glowing green, I needed to heal myself if I was going to leave my room today..

The cooling sensation fill my arm as I tried to focus on healing it but there didn't seem to be much progress, I kept trying until they looked slightly better and then started getting dressed.

I put on a black mid sleeve shirt and blue skinny jeans then headed out to the kitchen for something quick to eat, I hurried along down to the medical room where my last lesson on poisons and antidote was to take place.

As soon as I walked in Kabuto's gaze fell on me. "Morning" His usual tone ringing through the room. "Today's session will be the last on this subject, I've pre made a poison that I want you to concoct an antidote too"

I walked into the room properly and sit down at the desk across from him, nodding. He glanced down at my arms, probably noticing the bruising but he didn't say anything he just went back to looking through the charts In front of him.

The poison was sitting on my desk ready to go, I took out a few drops and headed over to the microscope to have a closer look. When I had a sample of the poison magnified I analysed it and mentally made a list of things to counteract the contents, I still needed to prepare some ingredients and test the poison on a scroll so I didn't waste any time. A few hours past and I had finished concocting my antidote, I dropped some poison onto a scroll and then added the antidote. The poison began to steam and disappeared..

"It's done" I said looking over at Kabuto who was now typing something up on a computer, he stood up and came over to have a look for himself.

"Well done Tila, you can go now" He said, heading back over to what he was doing. I had plenty of antidote left so I decided to bottle it before I went, you never know when you might need it I thought to myself.

I went to the bathroom for a quick toilet break on my way to my room, I needed to get my weapons before I went to the training room or else Orochimaru won't be happy.

The memories of last night flooded back quickly before I could stop them, I'd just closed my bedroom door as the tears began to flow. No. Tila, be strong. I stopped my sudden sobs and gave myself a moment before summoning my things, I headed back to the room I was to meet Orochimaru and Sasuke.

They were both already there when I approached, my gaze automatically shifted to the ground when I got close enough to notice his piercing stare.

"Glad you've decided to finally join us, let's begin" Orochimaru started to talk but my gaze was desperately trying to avoid it. "Now, come at me" He challenged, after babbling on for a bit that was. We trained for about an hour or two, not as long as usual but I wasn't complaining. I felt so sick that it was effecting my fighting, I screwed up a few times and saw scolded.

After we finished up Orochimaru dismissed Sasuke and I then walked away into the darkness as usual. Sasuke looked over at me "Tila, do you still want me to show you that technique? If your too tired I ca-"

I cut him off quickly I didn't want his sympathy "Yeah show me, I'm not tired at all". He raised his eyebrow slightly, he'd taken one look at me earlier and gone wide eyed when noticing my bruises.. "Fine, This is called Chidori" He began weaving and grasped onto his wrist with his right hand as a ball of moving lightning started to form, it screeched and made high pitch noises that could even have been mistaken for chirping birds.
